KUOW’s book club will read “Subduction” by Kristen Millares Young this month.
Young’s debut novel tells the story of a Latina anthropologist who seeks refuge in Neah Bay. But her quest for solace on the Makah Nation puts her on a collision course with a family looking for answers about a father’s death.
“Subduction” made a big splash in the literary world when it came out in 2020, and I imagine more than a few of you will be familiar with this title. So, as we read, we’ll dive deeper into the text and, spoiler alert, we’ll wrap up with an in-depth interview with the author herself (exciting details to come)!
